The A-Cat Class tries to follow an initiative that has been taken by the A-Class Association for helping growing fleets to stimulate in counties that have not got any big representations for themselves recently. Sopot in Poland was a new venue that held the Worlds for the class in the year 2016.

Though the Earlybird entry has ended, there are still chances for many to give their entries and they will be accepted till the day before the commencement of the Worlds at the United Kingdom. The team from Great Britain is currently leading the fleet numbers with 14 boats in their name. More number of boats have been registered for participating in the Nationals that would be sailing a week before.

The hull or the sail can be made of any desired shape, use whatever material, and the participants can rig all setups according to their own desires.
